Synopsis – (from the inside jacket) “When Dad was a boy, he discovered a duck in the fridge! And more ducks all over the house. He invited some sheep to get rid of the ducks. And then dogs to get rid of the sheep. And so on and so on. But no one left. The house was a mess!“

Why I liked this book- DUCK IN THE FRIDGE – come on the title is awesome! *hee hee* This story is all out fun. Every time I turned the page (after I had calmed my giggling down), I’d giggle again! Mr. Mack has written a very funny, wacky book about a dad telling his son about a time when he was younger and had to get someone who didn’t want to fall asleep to fall asleep! His illustrations are cute and light-hearted. Ducks are just funny too! I like all of the little details in the pages. There’s no great message in the book, just a fun bedtime story and sometimes we just need one of those! The ending is really nice too.

Activities and Resources-

I had a hard time thinking of activities for this one. A lot of kids get baths before bedtime so maybe get some rubber duckies for their bath and make a matching game out of it. You could write letters or numbers on the bottom of each duck (make sure you make pairs up) and put the duckies in the bath and have your child try to find the matches. Then after the bath your child can dry the duckies off and get them ready for bed.

You could also do what the dad did in the book! Read some Mother Goose before bed (after you read DUCK IN THE FRIDGE 😉 )!

I agree we need some fun and funny bedtime stories. This sounds like it would make a great read aloud and maybe make bedtime more fun. Bedtime can be a struggle for kids and if they read a funny book with their parents it may make those tensions lessen. Both for parent and child.

Yay! Then you can wear black turtle necks, dark sunglasses, a gray scarf, and a black jacket, and become:

This IS an awesome title, Erik 🙂 And I happen to like books that are just for fun with no great message (probably ’cause I’ve written a few 😉 ). I also have to tell you—your activity is great! Very creative and lots of fun! Now, in honor of all rubber duckies, one of my all-time favorite songs:
